Auburn vs Florida Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. I see that Walter Clayton Jr. is expected back for Florida for this game, and while that will help the Gators, I’m still not interested in stepping in front of this Auburn freight train which is simply rolling down the tracks and not caring about who is in the way. I’ve thought at times that Florida is a national championship contender, and still do, but the Gators have taken a bit of a step back with their play on the road, and I think Auburn is going to be rocking once again for a chance at another big time signature win. Give me the Tigers.
